Hello,
I am currently trying to use a shortcode in a content template in order to insert this in turn via shortcode into an existing layout.
Unfortunately, the shortcode content is not outputting correctly to me.
Behind the shortcode is a function that pulls a link from a custom field of the post, encodes it and combines it with various other parameters to output the desired target link.
If I use the shortcode within Divi, it will be output correctly.
If I use the shortcode in the content template (I used both the old and new editors), it apparently renders incorrectly, if it renders at all.
Under Toolset -> Settings -> Frontend Content -> Third Party Shortcode Arguments, I have already added the appropriate shortcode.
Could someone of you take a quick look at why this is not working?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
To suggest some pointers, I'll need to see exactly how this custom shortcode is being used.
Can you please share temporary admin login details, along with the link to the pages where this shortcode can be seen working and not working?
( also include information about where the actual code of the shortcode can be seen )
Note: Your next reply will be private and it is recommended to make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.
regards,
Waqar
Thank you for sharing these details.
Looking into the template, I noticed that the custom shortcode "tui-unterkunft-direktlink" is returning a URL value.
But in both classic and Gutenberg editors, that shortcode is being used as a value for the id attribute in the "wpv-post-title" shortcode:
<a class="adm_tab2-check24" href="[wpv-post-title id='[tui-unterkunft-direktlink]']" target="_blank" rel="noopener">...</a>
<a class="adm_tab-2-tui" href="[wpv-post-title id='[tui-unterkunft-direktlink]']" target="_blank" rel="noopener">...</a>
It should be passed on directly in the "href" attribute:
<a class="adm_tab2-check24" href="[tui-unterkunft-direktlink]" target="_blank" rel="noopener">...</a>
<a class="adm_tab-2-tui" href="[tui-unterkunft-direktlink]" target="_blank" rel="noopener">...</a>
I hope this helps and let me know how it goes.
That's what I tried before.
I've no idea why it is working now, but happy it works 🙂
My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
